There are bad moments to launch a revenge tour, and then there’s whatever Carly is doing this week on General Hospital. It’s the kind of timing that would make even Sonny pause and mutter something about maybe sitting this one out. But Carly’s already locked in. She feels betrayed because Jack recruited Joss into the WSB and didn’t tell her. She’s furious and is working with Valentin to get payback against him. The problem, however, is that Jack, of all people, is standing between Port Charles and something that looks an awful lot like a global disaster.
Key Takeaways
- Carly’s revenge mission hits at the exact moment Jack is trying to stop a cold-fusion nightmare that could endanger far more than Port Charles.
- The villains tied to Faison’s final project — Britt, Dalton, Pascal, and Sidwell — are closer to a breakthrough than anyone realizes, and Jack can’t afford the distraction.
- Valentin knows the stakes but lets his old grudges steer him anyway, pulling Carly into a feud that once blew up both of their lives.
- The Brennan–Cassadine fallout still runs hot, and every move Carly makes only adds fuel to a fire that’s already unstable.
- If Jack gets sidelined because of Carly and Valentin’s revenge play, the villains may gain the upper hand — and the consequences could be Earth-shattering.
Revenge Collides With a Much Bigger War
That’s the part Carly (Laura Wright) can’t see right now. Jack (Chris McKenna) and the WSB aren’t circling some petty op or a glorified sting. They’re neck-deep in the remnants of Cesar Faison’s (Anders Hove) final project, the one involving Britt (Kelly Thiebaud), Professor Dalton (Daniel Goddard), Pascal (Marc Forget), and Sidwell (Carlo Rota). Cold fusion in the wrong hands is a nightmare that doesn’t stay contained in a basement lab. It has far-reaching consequences.
Jack is trying to prevent this cadre of villains from blowing a hole in the world, and every time Carly inches toward taking him down, she’s throwing a monkey wrench into his mission. And then there’s Valentin (James Patrick Stuart), who really should know better. He knows exactly what Jack is investigating. He knows how deep Pikeman goes. He knows cold fusion isn’t the kind of thing you poke at while you’re nursing a grudge. But he’s still perfectly willing to let Carly channel that hurt into something sharp, because the truth is Valentin’s never fully let go of his own history with Brennan. His uneasy standoff with his former friend only gets uglier every time one of them blinks. (Could Faison still be around…in digital form?)
One Misstep Could Hand the Villains Everything
That’s what makes this moment so dangerous. Carly thinks she’s teaming up with the devil she knows. Valentin thinks he’s helping Carly scorch the Earth behind Brennan. But Jack isn’t hiding in a penthouse trying to skip out on an apology. He’s chasing the kind of threat that keeps governments awake at night. And no matter how justified Carly feels — no matter how many times Jack lied, or how badly he mishandled Joss and the WSB — her warpath slices right through an operation that can’t afford a single misstep.
If Carly keeps pushing for her own petty vendetta, she’s not just blowing up Jack’s world, she might cause the entire planet to suffer. She’s stepping into a feud between two men who once built empires together and now know exactly where to hit each other to cause the most damage. The wrong move here doesn’t just hurt Jack; it allows the villains to keep one step ahead of him. If they get the upper hand because Jack is somehow taken out of the equation, all hope could be lost.
Carly thinks she’s reclaiming control and getting back at Jack. What she doesn’t realize is that she might be tugging on the last thread keeping this whole world from detonating in a most horrific and final way. (Is GH positioning Nathan (Ryan Paevey) as the new Faison?)
